Having just ate butter popcorn for the first time in ages I think I'm sticking with the salted stuff, but what's your take?

As with other such life-affirming questions, you can change your vote if need be ;)

If there was a Marmite popcorn I may be interested. What better way to piss off your fellow cinema goer than with sound and smell?

I've tried butter, butterscotch and salt, salted butter etc. but at the end of the day I prefer peace and quiet.

It's been years since I had popcorn, at the cinema or otherwise.

Salted is okay in small quantities but for watching a film sweet is better.
Having said that, I normally get something else if I'm going to the cinema so it's a pie vote here.

I was going for 'if you had to choose', hence the ability to change your vote :)

We don't have butter or salt popcorn here.

Toffee from the shops or sugared in the cinema.

I usually get a 50/50 salt/sweet mix. The only exception to this is when I'm in the states where they only have salted (but you can pour butter over it)

Well if that is what you mean the it is butter. I thought that butter was salty but hey ho.

The sweet stuff at cinemas is a bit of a tradition for me. A movie is just not the same without but my god don't they charge for it.

:? When did butter mean sweet?
Butter was butter, in my early teens. Used to have hot buttered popcorn in Glasgow - you'd end up with a puddle of congealed fat in the bottom of the carton. If you were lucky.
Sugared or salted is the only option these days, apparently. :(

At the cinema, Butterkist - as in toffee. Usually bought from the Sainsbury's next door and smuggled inside.

I used to make salted, but very few of my friends like it. Most people like toffee or sugar, so that is what I make now if I have guests. I still have lightly salted or plain for myself sometimes, because it's really quite a healthy snack if you leave out the butter.

Well it is not exactly sugar. To be honest I am not too sure what it is. :?
